That's a great set Tom! Must have taken a while to put that together. Congratulations.

Th e description mentioned something about:

You think there is any truth to this? Have you seen any more of these?

Of coarse it's all here say but the nice lady that sold it was selling off the estate of Mr Schwartz . She went on saying that he is still alive but in a nursing home and needing to liquidate .
I have another example with etch but this one is in near mint to mint condition .

What do you folks think a 60's Kamp King, almost mint, scout style would be worth.
But not for sale....
So many knives, too little time...

Here's one from eBay that recently sold for about $40: http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-IMPERIA ... 7675.l2557

Hope that helps you out with your valuation.

No offense meant to anyone here, but I cannot understand a Kamp King selling for forty dollars.

If that's the case, then higher quality American made knives are undervalued.
